Prism

This past week Mackenzie performed in a very unusual concert called Prism.  To better understand the concept of this concert the audience was asked to consider the effects that a prism creates as it refracts spectacular colors and forms to unexpected places.  The concert was designed to create prismatic events through a sonic and spatial environment when least expected.

It is the band's most popular yearly concert.  Because it is so popular they have to perform the concert three times, once during the school day for visiting elementary and middle school students and then again twice at night for parents and the community. It includes a full sample of the variety of instruments and music available at Gulf Coast High.

The drumline dressed up in painter's coveralls and used trashcans and lids to create their music. 





They also performed a drum cadence under a black light.



The concert lasted nearly two hours and ended with a grand finale. The entire band (over 325 kids) filled the aisles and played their halftime show - it was amazing!





Last but not least, we cannot forget about Mason. He was not feeling a 100% this week but he perked up in time to attend.



He also performed in his own final holiday concert this past Friday at the elementary school's Cookies with Santa.



We have a busy week ahead as we end the first 1/2 of the school year.  We are looking forward to a little rest and relaxation next week when we begin our winter break.
